ColonelPanic001Came in this morning, put laptop on dock, external monitors no longer get detected12:50
ColonelPanic001all I've done recently is rotate the left monitor12:50
rick_hoops12:50
ColonelPanic001so my question is how fast does a car have to be going to ensure death when I jump in front of it?12:50
ColonelPanic001I can't use just one monitor like a barbarian12:50
ColonelPanic001I plugged an HDMI monitor in directly to the laptop, works fine12:51
cmaloneyGood morning12:51

jrwrenhttps://streaming.media.ccc.de/asg2019/relive/164  systemd-homed... because... systemd all the things. who needs /etc/passwd. LUL14:55
jrwrenvery cool. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/phame/post/view/175/wikipedia_s_javascript_initialisation_on_a_budget/15:07
cmaloneyWhy the fuck are they screwing with home directories?15:14
cmaloneyJFC stop making Systemd an OS15:14
jrwrenI knew you'd love it cmaloney15:20
jrwrenafter DNS/resolver, I couldn't guess what systemd would do next, and I didn't.15:20
jrwrenSo what is next after this? I still can't imagine.15:20
cmaloneyI mean, if there was actual pain in there then I'd totally get it. Change it up.15:20
cmaloneyBut now it's just feature creep15:20
jrwrenautofs maybe?15:20
jrwrenit must be an actual pain for someone.15:20
cmaloneyWho? People who hate knowing what is in their directory?15:21
jrwrenrw /etc. I think the goal is to run with ro /etc15:21
cmaloneyI think the goal is to remake the registry, poorly15:24
cmaloneyThat was one thing that I didn't like about commercial UNIX was having to use special commands to admin things15:25
cmaloneyand we're re-making those mistakes15:25
jrwrengconfd?15:26
jrwrenwe've had linux xml registry for 15yrs, haven't we?15:27
cmaloneyYes, and I'm still a bit salty about that15:28
cmaloneyI mean, some of the alernatives are "not great" either15:30
cmaloneyXML is terrible, and json / yaml weren't in vogue when the decision was made. Sailfish / Metacity used Lisp for configuration, which is always great to have a turing complete config.15:31
greg-gawww, the rant on systemd overtook jrwren's other link which one of my sub-teams published :)15:58
greg-gbut: .ini dotfiles for ever :P15:59
cmaloneyYeah yeah, javascript simplification. Whee.17:05
cmaloney(I'm kidding. That's actually pretty sweet)17:06
